@ganeshie8 @ikram002p

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large v = f \lambda = \frac{\lambda}{T}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its just a relation like speed = distance / time it holds for all waves

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So first one is D

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank ya , what about second one ??? I think its B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iambatman

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for second one, use the relation in first question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

velocity = wavelength x frequency

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

^^which property is missing in above relation ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Amplitude

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yup ! amplitude got nothing to do with frequency/wavelength/velocity of wave

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I read another MCQ that confused me Many wave properties are dependent upon other wave properties. Yet, one wave property is independent of all other wave properties. Which one of the following properties of a wave is independent of all the others? a. wavelength b. frequency c. period d. velocity Answer: D The speed of a wave is dependent upon the properties of the medium through which it moves, not upon the properties of the wave itself.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

sry for late sarah:O a bit bze

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok @ikram002p ^_^ what u think ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 ????????

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

speed of a wave depends on wavelength and frequency of wave

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what about last one ??? ^_^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so the answer/explanation given by ur text/teacher makes no sense to me yet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its Moles :/

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Density looks more correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz explain it little

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

saying oxygen has a density of 1000000 particles per m^3 is meaningless

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|dw:1396525318699:dw|

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

i think its a couse all of them depends on wavelength

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

u cant describe gases using density

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if u fill air in a big container, it occupies the entire container and density will be less the density of air depends on the volume of container so density is not a FIXED property of air

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh :O Thank you so much @ganeshie8 and @ikram002p ya both are a life saver :D

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np :)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

anything for the witch ;)
